A creative partnership between a mother and her 12-year-old daughter is reshaping the landscape of luxury fashion with an innovative approach that combines high-end runway collections with accessible everyday wear. Robin Anntoinette and her daughter Davia, co-founders of Robavian, recently announced a strategic acquisition that signals ambitious growth for their fashion enterprise.
The fashion company completed its merger with Chic Rivers on December 14, 2025, integrating the acquired brand’s entire catalog of clothing and accessories into the Robavian platform. This consolidation represents a significant expansion for the mother-daughter team, who have been building their fashion presence since launching Robavian alongside Robin’s established entertainment production company, In His Arms Productions, which she founded in 2012.
Robin Anntoinette brings a multifaceted creative background to the fashion venture, serving as CEO, designer, artist, and author. Her theater and film production company has operated for over a decade, providing a foundation of creative expertise that now extends into the fashion industry. The merger positions Robavian to serve a broader customer base while maintaining its commitment to luxury runway pieces alongside more accessible fashion options.
Since 2023, Robavian has established a strong presence on the runway circuit, presenting collections at prestigious events including New York Fashion Week, Winston Salem Fashion Week, and Charlotte Fashion Week. The brand’s runway appearances have helped establish its reputation in the competitive luxury fashion market, attracting customers who appreciate both the quality of construction and the distinctive aesthetic vision behind each piece.
Looking ahead to 2026, the company plans an ambitious international fashion tour that will showcase collections on platforms throughout the world. These runway pieces will be made available for purchase through the brand’s online presence, allowing customers worldwide to access both the high-end runway collections and everyday fashion offerings. The tour represents an innovative blend of creative disciplines, incorporating fashion presentations with music and visual art.
As part of the 2026 tour, Robin will release her new EP titled Promise Part 2, performing live at various tour stops. Her daughter Davia will present children’s and teen collections during the tour, including designs inspired by her own artwork. This intergenerational collaboration showcases the family’s diverse creative talents while expanding Robavian’s market reach into younger demographics.
Robin’s creative output extends beyond fashion and music into the literary world. She has authored three books: The Glory Trail and Even Though, along with a children’s book co-written with Davia titled “Little Miss Monet: When I Grow Up I Want to Be a Star.” This collaborative children’s book reflects the same partnership model that drives their fashion business, demonstrating how the mother-daughter team integrates their creative visions across multiple mediums.
The brand’s customer base has responded enthusiastically to both the quality and presentation of Robavian’s offerings. Samantha Owen, a customer who has made multiple purchases, shared her experience with the brand’s runway collection and everyday pieces. “I LOVE, LOVE this brand. I purchased a dress from their runway collection for one of my events not only was it packaged beautifully but it was one of the most beautiful custom pieces i’ve worn yet. I received so many compliments. I also purchased a jumpsuit to add to my wardrobe, since these two purchases i have become a regular customer. Kudos to Robin Anntoinette and her brand Robavian,” Owen stated.
The company’s philosophy centers on creating fashion that delivers more than aesthetic appeal. Robavian’s approach emphasizes garments that make wearers feel confident both internally and externally, targeting a broad demographic that spans from 22 to 75 years old. This inclusive age range reflects the brand’s versatility, offering pieces that appeal to multiple generations while maintaining a cohesive design vision.
With the Chic Rivers acquisition complete, all products from that brand now appear on the Robavian website, creating a comprehensive shopping destination for customers seeking both luxury runway pieces and everyday fashion. The merged catalog represents an expanded inventory that serves the brand’s diverse customer base while maintaining quality standards across all product categories.
The upcoming nationwide tour and continued runway presentations position Robavian’s luxury fashion collections for increased visibility in global markets. As the mother-daughter team continues to expand their creative empire across fashion, music, art, and literature, their integrated approach to design and business demonstrates how family collaboration can drive innovation in the competitive fashion industry.
